***Kent: Sad but true when it comes to playing live with a laptop. ie if you're bopping your head and moving around people assume you're playing live (even if you're faking it); if you're focused on what you're doing, they often assume you're checking your email or playing Solitaire. I posted a long email about this on the microsound list last week. BTW, re the subject line (we have a bad habit, as a whole, of not changing subject lines as threads change): Ableton Live 2 is now officially available. I just downloaded it about 30 minutes ago. Take care.
